Breakfast

Well, we find out something that is more fun than moving in your first trimester with an infant, toddler, and 7-year-old instigator. When they are all sick. Strep test was negative, so it's just a nasty virus that has to run it's course. Fun stuff!
The two little ones just want to be held- which is SO unusual, & I just wish I could enjoy it instead of being annoyed. Life is so funny sometimes!
Well, this morning Noah fell back to sleep in my bed for an hour (Yay!) And when he got up, Jonah had already had a donut & yogurt & chocolate milk for breakfast. (Only becuase we are moving- I assure you I would not feed that much sugar to my kids normally.). Noah said he would just like a donut and chocolate milk for breakfast. But when I brought him his donut ( one he picked out at the donut shop, mind you!) He laid his head down and cried like his best friend had just died because he wanted one with powdered sugar on it, not chocolate frosting and sprinkles. Of course, to a 3-year-old, not getting the donut you want may be about as traumatic as losing a friend.
Long story short, he had Cheerios in chocolate milk for breakfast. Guess it wasn't as bad as it sounded as he had two bowls- and then asked for that donut he didn't want!

We have so been there before on the doughnut thing. I have learned to get EVERYTHING the same when it comes to stuff like that. We may have wanted something different originally but when it comes down to it the grass is always greener on the other side. Or at least in the case of "I want what they have."

Hope your moving goes smoothly. I'm up to my eye balls in boxes and totes. And I still need to pack the food! Good luck!

Cheerios in chocolate milk...yuck! :) But at least he liked it. When my kids are sick, I break out the homemade Jelly from Nanaa. Maybe because it's from her that they feel better because of it.
Hope they all feel better soon!
